Group Rides to IBW | Episode 5 I The PowerDrift Podcast

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hey #PDArmy, hit that Like button if you ride in groups, and Share this with a friend who needs to watch this. And if you are coming down to IBW, do come and say Hi. We'd love to meet you!

[@siddharthpujare6298]

I think official IBW must put this video on their social media handles. Thanks a ton for this video.

[@jattin278]

Can i come with you guys in 2020 for IBW?

[@p.chakraborty4453]

7:22 , in the US, when i was riding in groups and bike nights, when you're riding, you either ride in a formation, or ride in a line ( i follow the front tail light, and follow the headlight in my mirror , behind me , and it's always a must to have Comms in our helmets, which is rarely seen in india , unless it's a very responsible guy.

[@p.chakraborty4453]

9:45 i hate to admit, but actually it's true, in America, it's about Big Dick energy, if your friends got a 500cc bike, get a litre class bike, lmfao, that's the worst part over there..

[@p.chakraborty4453]

10:57 i have another ideas , get a whole group of Multistradas with radars, get all of them in the highway, turn on active cruise control, set the stuff and let it do the job lol.

[@BuluBiker]

I don't like Group rides, my last group ride to Goa from Bangalore took me about 17-18hrs 😁 At the same time I hate Solo rides too, I feel its not safe in many ways. The best what I feel is riding with one or max two riders. Video is best as always with the two most lovely ppl. Just that too many beeps😂😂

[@shu_mar]

Bulu Patnaik I don’t even know why. There should be just two. 😁. Okay three.

[@BuluBiker]

[@SWARBENDUDASRAJAKtheSDR]

This podcast was much needed for present situations...GROW UP GUYS!! Following Shumi since 2006..he still cherish OVERDRIVE...

[@atharvamadyal5115]

Wow i have alot to share too, I'm comfortable with my group. We've been riding from when we were kids, like from cycle - moped - shine/splendor - to now which is 250-300 cc bike. I can't ride with ppl I dont trust. Riding with friends is trusting them with your life. I'm proud to say that we have a pattern. We all (3ppl)meet with a day b4 with our bike (to be ridden next day). Check air, top up fuels, re fill first aid, check tool kit , lube chain. We're never late n fully geared (lvl2). And ofc Never break rules anywhere... And many other small rules...which are subjective.

[@shu_mar]

ATHARVA MADYAL That is amazing. That is the group you want to find!

[@ambadyanil4611]

This is an incredible video. Something every single biker must watch. I am a person who rides for convenience, choose a bike as my mode of transport because car was too difficult and expensive. I occasionally does some rides for having some fun, but never does super long distance touring as i cant enjoy them, which i keep it for my car as i felt more comfortable in it. I am a person who hates to go group rides. And when i go, i am just the person shumi said an army man with motorcycles, i scold and gets bit aggressive on immature or indisciplinary actions of my fellow riders. And punctuality is a must for me Also these immature behaviour forced me to stop attending any of riders club meetup and festivals.(ktm orange days especially) So i only ride with a very few people whom i could handle and adjust with my road rules. I thought this was a problem with me until now where i found i was doing things just fine. Kudos team powerdrift And thank you shumi and Varun for this awesome content

[@sandeshpatil8750]

That's the Art and Science of Riding for a long rides in a group or solo...This Podcast is so knowledgeable for those who are enthusiastic n passionate about Biking Culture in India.... Hardluck for me this year I'm trying to go for IBW Goa since last year still not managed to get it.... I'm gonna try my best n I would luv to join PowerDrift riding group if they gave a chance for on of the subscriber to ride along with them😁 #PDarmy #ImPDFan 💯❤️🔥

[@mhatresachins]

Thumbs up for the podcast series. Absolutely loved both the episodes(this and helmet one) featuring schumi. A great way to get into the mind of a pro and learn something new. Just amazed at the heaps of knowledge and clarity of thought he has.

[@alvinreji2801]

im having a smaller 125cc honda... i like to go for weekend rides, almost 100-150km most of the weekends. Every single time me go out in a group ride all off the other riders will be in much larger bikes than mine. at some point they will be struggling to go slowly to accommodate me, or i had to go fast, pushing my bike harder... so i decided to go for solo rides. SOLO is better when you have a small bike.. because your not making your frends bored going slow.. . but also having a smaller bike will give you an advantage of more fuel economy, so that you can go rides every weekend.

[@davidjones587]

Which bike

[@aishikdey2460]

India really needed this and these kind of podcasts. Really looking forward to you guys be the best automotive review channel. Lots of hops and may be someday to be competent enough to work with you guys ❤️

[@pragyansaurav]

Always love Shumi's podcasts. He reminds me of the wise tortoise from the kung-fu panda series. (This is a compliment trust me) 😅

[@shu_mar]

pragyan saurav That was a much kinder person than me. I’m more like my way or the Oogway

[@siddharthpujare6298]

There are 34 dislikes at this moment. I dont understand whats there to dislike in this video? I want to identify those people so I can keep distance from them while riding to IBW.

[@sachuchandra94]

Siddharth Pujare many think shumar is arrogant and a showoff 😂. Wat ever he is sayin makes sense and its from his experience, so nthing other than a mid finger wud satysfy those who unliked ir

[@pepega6935]

That's the Harley Davidson group shumi rode with xD

[@oppof7pro645]

Correct 😂😂😂😂😂

[@saikatdas9122]

Solo ride is best, no tension, peace of mind

[@KPS_04]

Shumi is so knowledgeable ! Even though I don't do group rides, I just enjoyed this podcast so much. More such podcasts with Shumi please :)

[@revzzrider]

Ride Solo or Group both have positive & Negative points, I personally like Solo rides. For group ride my group is having max of 4 members including me, & 3 others whom I know for long times & aware of their habits & Riding style ☺️

[@jamesborges1644]

Hats off to you guys, you hit the nail on its head. I think every bike group should share this podcast with every member of their group. One good learning lesson. Great going guys, thank you for sharing this much needed podcast. Cheers.

[@babukiran9315]

Shumi eats all the minutes when it comes to screen space and the talking as well !!. Which is good because alot of knowledge has been shared !!!.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad you liked it, brother!

[@babukiran9315]

Wow !!. Thank you PD

[@samarthnautiyal]

One of the most informative podcasts I have come across, every group (or solo) rider should watch this. Great job guys.

[@sumitmoolchandani4977]

A very helpful video about the topic who have never talked about

[@abhinam2286]

This is a very informative video. So much to learn from experienced riders like you guys. Only sad thing is those 35 dislikes - who dislikes such an informative video? Keep up the awesome work. PD rocks 🍻🤘

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks, Abhinam. Your immense support compensates the dislikes well and good.

[@shahbaazhussain6945]

I can hear such podcasts all day long. But Why? Because i can relate much and i get to learn many and make be even better. Thanks Shumi Sir and Varun Painter😊

[@p.chakraborty4453]

6:47 Absolutely agree, couldn't agree more !!

[@ontheroad8149]

Man look at these podcasts at 75k views and the recent ones with 3-4K views? There’s a reason that’s sitting at motorinc today. Full of knowledge and no “blow or suck” shit. One other thing: just don’t give flybys. Painter doesn’t have his bike?

[@priyankyadav8307]

Loved the podcast ......hugely informative

[@aashishjoshi3204]

Super podcast guys!! I thought I was being a drama queen for not wanting to wait for people to finish their 3rd cigarette on what was supposed to be a 5 min chai break! 😁 But i see that I'm not alone. You've covered some excellent points, like being considerate to others on the road, riding with enough distance and planning your breaks efficiently. You seem like an interesting bunch to ride with. Safe travels. Have fun at Goa. 😃

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad you liked it, Aashish. Now you can show this video to the group while planning for a ride!

[@ashishdash3333]

the more I hear from Shumi, the more I want him to teach me , the more I want to go on a ride with him

I am not a person who uses too many words.. for this all i can say.. This video is to the point. Amazing discussion and a must watch for anyone planning for a group ride. Loved it.. This video is going to get a lot of views. Deserves it.

[@adithyagaonkar5424]

Awesome Guys. I think group of 3 to 4 bikes are best for any ride. Better than Solo you will have company and not the complications of big group like waiting or coordination problem like that... I wish I had a bike to visit IBW, None the less a great education for someone like me who loves to be a biker...

[@powerdriftofficial]

Nicely said. We wish you have a bike for the next year!

Just recently discovered these podcasts and I must say these are awesome. Really useful insights here. So I do fall under the category of the person who is still trying to find a nice group to ride with. But have recently discovered that the people I want to ride with have bigger bikes than I have. How do you make that dynamic work? Have you ever been in a ride where the mix of the bikes are pretty drastic say ranging from something like the RE 350s to the 600cc+ middle weight bikes or even bigger?

[@maharshi7518]

#powerdrift tomorrow we had a plan for group ride. Its gonna be my first group ride, so for preparation and idea for same started watching this meanwhile a message poped on my screen stating that due to corona sanitary emergency all further rides got cancelled till further notice 😭

[@nishantpratapsingh6628]

At the end after some time people stop following rules(not talking about traffic rules). And goes haywire. That's why I ride mostly solo.!! If I have to ride in a group it's mostly two bikes or max 3 very rarely. Because most of my friends are not bikers. They just see me go on trips and just wanna join.

I just think we need to acknowledge the fact that we are all road users and respect other vehicles right to use the road. I think this is not the case with a lot of group rides. People look at these group as a loud bunch of bikers doing dangerous riding. I think small groups work best, sensible and somewhat like minded

Hey Guys! Great work on your podcasts! Love them. But, these aren't podcasts. These are videos, per se. And your 'Actual Podcasts' take a couple of days until it's available on Spotify or on other apps even. It would be awesome if you release the video and "the podcast" at the same time coz that would make our drives back from the office not so boring.

Group rides are too much work. Multiple heads, multiple ideas. I personally think as long as you ride carefully solo, there's a much much lower chance of a crash than in a group where it's very likely. I tell my friends you go ahead at your pace, I'll do it at my own, if at all I'm involved or required to ride together.

[@KrunalThacker]
